Your Daily Lick: Dum Spiro Spero

This collection of folksy roots tunes sounds like it would be more at home in Appalachia than the Bay Area. Whether or not you’ll like it will depend entirely on your fondness for all things Americana. Think fiddles and lyrical tall tales, with a slight touch of the macabre adding a genuine Southern flavor.

At the House of Shields (39 New Montgomery St., San Francisco) on February 27. 8 p.m., $5
